WELCOMING RAJAB!

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate Dear Community Members, As-Salāmu `Alaykum (السلام عليكم, Peace be upon you), THE DU'A OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD (صلى الله عليه وسلم - PEACE BE UPON HIM) IN THE MONTH OF RAJAB! Rajab, being the seventh month of the Islamic calendar is a stepping stone to the auspicious months of Sha’baan and Ramadan. Rajab is from the Ashurul Hurum (Sacred Months), where the rewards of virtuous deeds are increased. When the moon of Rajab was sighted Rasulullah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) would recite the following Du’ a. This du’a should be recited regularly in the month of Rajab and Sha’baan. In preparation for Ramadan, the relevance of Rajab maybe understood as the month to sow seeds (good actions), Sha’baan is the month in which we should water those seeds (with tears of remorse) and Ramadan is the month in which we real the harvest. Whilst the arrival of Ramadan is certain, no person is guaranteed reaching Ramadan. Rasulullah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) would express his eagerness to be blessed with the month of Ramadan from Rajab. We should therefore become more inclined towards virtuous deeds and Ibaadat in these months. May Allah Ta’ala privilege us with witnessing Ramadhaan and grant us the ability to spend it in a manner that is most pleasing to Him, Aameen. (Source: https://jamiat.org.za/dua-for-rajab/)
